Zabaan is a brilliant institution for learning new languages, Riya Tyagi was my mentor for urdu and she made the job so easy and fun loving for me, she teaches in such a familiar way that not i just learnt the language but also developed love for the language. Thankyou so much Riya tyagi ji & zabaan for this experience.

I've been studying at Zabaan for more than a month, just finished my course this week and I am so glad I chose them. It was recommended to me by my University Professors and it was the perfect choice. My tutor, Tamanna, is super professional, competent and she helped me out with my hindi learning journey. I hope that in the future I'll have another opportunity to follow a course at Zabaan. That's all I can add. Thank you so much!

I’ve had the good fortune of a rather special relationship with Zabaan—in that, over the past several years, I’ve been both a student and a teacher there. After learning Urdu in 2008, I was looking for ways to stay connected with the language when I came across Zabaan through an internet search. Ali generously offered me the help of their in-house Urdu scholar, Reza, if I could take on the task of translating a set of stories from classical into English.While I’m certain that I severely tested Reza’s patience with my newly acquired, faltering Urdu, I began a relationship with an organisation that, as a language lover and lifelong learner, I’ve had the privilege of turning to time and again. A couple of years later, I was thrilled when Ali invited me to teach Punjabi online for Zabaan—an engagement that continued for the next couple of years. Then, courtesy of Zabaan, I took Farsi classes with a particularly interesting individual.While I’m no longer an active student or teacher with them today, Ali remains my go-to person for any questions related to Hindi, Urdu, Sanskrit—or any language, really—especially when even the internet falls short. I can always count on an answer from him; and if he doesn’t have it, he’ll make sure to find it—often along with additional context, book recommendations and more.In a world where everyone is a surface-level expert, it is a relief to know that there are people like Ali, and places like Zabaan, that do justice to the word expert. Their approach to language teaching speaks for itself in the sheer number of students they’ve taught. I see a future in which a Zabaan language certification holds the same weight as those from the world’s top language institutions—if, indeed that future hasn’t already arrived.

Coming from the United States of America, I studied with Zabaan for 7 weeks in India, learning Hindi. It was one of the greatest experiences I've had, and I learned so many new things. The instructors are very kind and patient with all experience levels.I'd like to give a special shout-out to my instructors, Tamanna, Shanti, Anita Ma'am, and Vartika Ma'am. They were the best teachers I could have asked for (very welcoming, helpful, taught with engaging activities that made language learning fun by using real-world scenarios, and funny!) and we all developed an amazing relationship over those 7 weeks. I still keep in touch with them all, practicing my Hindi skills with them despite being across the world. Today, along with Marathi, I speak Hindi at home with my family, with another instructor in the US, and every chance I get over the phone/text.I highly recommend learning with Zabaan!
